One of a few Sultan of Brunei specials made by Aston Martin. This one dates from 1997 and is called the AM3.

That's correct.
But just to give the full details of what it actually is, rather than just its name, who was it built for?

Yes, it is.
The main part has been answered but since it's an integral part of the car's whole raison d'etre I do need to know who it was for, but it's too easy to find out for me to open it and award a point to someone else..
I'll give him a big longer.

Wait, I might have found it. According to one site, the Sultan of Brunel, Hassanel Bolkiah owns one. Was he the person it was built for?

Indeed he was.
He had an astonishing number of 'specials' built, ranging from Ferraris and Aston Martins to Rolls-Royces and Bentleys and no doubt plenty of others; he didn't order them singly either, always in batches of 3 or 4 or half a dozen!  Then the money got a bit short when he was down to his last few £hundred billion so I think he's stopped now..

Unfortunately this turns out to have been a re-post so it has now been merged.

Yeah, I read he had something like 50 Rolls Royce's. I think the article also said he owns over 1,000 cars (although it may have been 5,000, can't remember).
